Limited Edition Gold Coloured Vinyl Repress. Remastered and packaged with bonus tracks on the download (out-takes from the original sessions that spawned this spontaneous monster).

The second of three groundbreaking albums by the ultimate power trio who morphed blues into hard rock and spawned punk. A much-loved opus with a side-long concept piece. A bona fide inspirational rock classic. The second side delivers the mighty ‘Cherry Red‘, McPhee’s take on The BeatlesA Day In the Life, a sideswipe at junk foodand a glorious interpretation of John Lee Hooker’s ‘Groundhogs Blues.

“Tony McPhee has turned to anarchic paranoid battlegrounds of the mind for inspiration,” – Melody Maker.

“Both musically and lyrically, ’Split’ speaks for a lost time, a nomad time when ideals took to the hoof and musicians stayed on the road rather than confront the fact that the ’60s ‘war’ had been lost.” – Julian Cope

“Murky, fuzzy, and wisely esoteric.” – AllMusic.

“Supercharged, fractured and raging.” – MOJO
